active desktop is like having a webpage for your desktop right? anyway. i just wanted to know if there was a way to turn off the warnings you would get from trying to open an exe from internet explorer.

the thing is, i thought it would be cool to have a webpage for my desktop and i wanted to make all my icons and shortcuts as text links instead right on my desktop.

i can do the html real easily and make it look cool. but if when i want to launch maybe microsoft word or photoshop from an html file (the active desktop) then i'd get the obvious security warning messages about "downloading exe's is dangerious, do you want to open or save?".

so i was wondering if there was a tag of sorts, i can use to disable that on a link by link basis, (or keep it only on that page) because i dont necessarily want to deactivate my default ie security settings or anythign like that which i think would be dumb.

so i was just wondering.



and in case your wondering "why". i once saw this cool desktop online with some neato text links for a menu instead of lame icons. and i thought it could be done in html and maybe using active desktop. however i wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be maybe like litestep or desktopx. but i woudl personally rather NOT use those programs just to get a kewl desktop. i wanted to keep it simple. so i was just wondering. let me know. thanks in advance.

I've never tried it, but here is something that may help.

If you want your PC to run like a turtle go ahead and run Active Desktop. All of it's settings are based on your IE settings, just disable all of your security settings in IE and the warnings will go away. If you do set them up as links however it will try and download them prior to opening them....might be better to use your application shortcuts instead.

yeah. i couldn't figure out any way so i decided to just use desktopX instead. i was thinking desktop X would lag my system too, but in camprison, active desktop is a lot worse. so i'm using desktop x and i gotta say the results are real nice. i have a "1337" desktop now.

thanks for the help though.
